Are you newly engaged? Congratulations! You are probably starting your wedding planning process now. Finding the perfect wedding venue is the first and most critical step towards getting your dream wedding.
At The Playford Hotel Adelaide, MGallery By Sofitel, we know how your choice of a wedding venue will set the tone for the entire big day. To help you kick off your search, you can use this wedding venue checklist:
Location
Once you have decided on the wedding location you want, evaluate your available options based on the accessibility of each wedding venue via public transportation and the availability of convenient parking options. Check also if the location of the wedding venue is easy to find.
Budget
The wedding venue and catering service cost usually represents about half of any wedding budget. Therefore, you must set a realistic budget before choosing a wedding venue.
To find a wedding venue that embodies both of you as a couple and fits within your budget, you need to ask a few questions, such as what each wedding package includes.
Capacity
Finding a wedding venue with a suitable capacity that perfectly suits the number of guests you intend to invite is essential. An overcrowded wedding venue will make your guests feel uncomfortable. That does not mean that you should book a large wedding venue. A half-empty room does not look good either and will cost you more.
Availability
Here, you should get a more flexible mindset and explore all options. You can set a wedding date first and search for the venues available on that date, or you can go the other way around and set the date based on the availability of the wedding venue you want.
Either way, the availability of the wedding venue is not the only aspect you should consider. If you intend to have a bridal party the day before or if some of your guests will be staying overnight, you should also check the availability of suitable accommodations for you and your guests.
Style
The style of the wedding venue needs to match the look and feel you are going for. To help you imagine the final look of the wedding venue, you should ask about the room set-up and see pictures of previous weddings in that venue.
